Who’s blogging?
I'm Karin Fisher-Golton. I love the water and my family and friends—this photo reminds me of both. I write picture books, poetry, early readers, middle grade novels, and nonfiction for children. I also edit children's books (picture books through young adult books). Click on my photo above for more about me.
